MinicoreJapanese: Tojitsuken wa arimasu ka.
Native: 当日券はありますか。
English: Do you have same-day tickets?
Literal: same-day-ticket [topic] exists ?
Notes: tojitsuken — the same-day ticket, sold at the venue on the day. Sumo keeps a small batch even when advance seats are gone; get in line early.

MinicoreJapanese: Otona, futatsu onegaishimasu.
Native: おとな、ふたつお願いします。
English: Two adults, please.
Literal: adult, two please
Notes: otona — adult. The word every ticket window, bus, and museum in Japan prices by.

MinicoreJapanese: Kodomo wa ikura desu ka.
Native: 子どもはいくらですか。
English: How much is a child's ticket?
Literal: child [topic] how-much is ?
Notes: kodomo — child. The pair otona / kodomo is printed above every price list.

MinicoreJapanese: Jiyuuseki wa arimasu ka.
Native: 自由席はありますか。
English: Are there unreserved seats?
Literal: unreserved-seat [topic] exists ?
Notes: jiyuuseki — the unreserved section: baseball's cheap outfield, sumo's top-floor bench. Same word as the train's unreserved car.

MinicoreJapanese: Shiteiseki wa takai desu ka.
Native: 指定席は高いですか。
English: Are reserved seats expensive?
Literal: reserved-seat [topic] expensive is ?
Notes: shiteiseki — a reserved seat, your name on a specific spot. Concerts are almost always all-shiteiseki.

MinicoreJapanese: Masuseki wa ikura desu ka.
Native: ますせきはいくらですか。
English: How much is a box seat?
Literal: box-seat [topic] how-much is ?
Notes: masuseki — sumo's floor-level box: a low fenced square with four cushions, shoes off at the edge. Close to the action and priced like it.

MinicoreJapanese: Chiketto, douzo.
Native: チケット、どうぞ。
English: Here's my ticket. (handing it over)

MinicoreJapanese: Kono seki wa doko desu ka.
Native: この席はどこですか。
English: Where is this seat? (pointing at your ticket)
Literal: this seat [topic] where is ?
Notes: seki — seat. Point at the seat number on your ticket and any usher walks you there — the same point-at-it move as the subway exit trick.

MinicoreJapanese: Sumimasen. Koko wa watashi no seki desu.
Native: すみません。ここは私の席です。
English: Excuse me — this is my seat.
Literal: excuse-me. here [topic] my seat is
Notes: Said with a smile and your ticket visible, this resolves itself instantly — seat mix-ups are common and nobody argues.

MinicoreJapanese: Kaijou wa doko desu ka.
Native: 会場はどこですか。
English: Where is the venue?
Literal: venue [topic] where is ?

English: I want to see sumo.
Literal: sumo [obj] want-to-see
Notes: sumou — sumo. Six 15-day tournaments a year (Tokyo in January, May, September; Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka take the others) — say this at a hotel desk and they'll know exactly what to check.

MinicoreJapanese: Yakyuu no shiai o mitai desu.
Native: 野球の試合を見たいです。
English: I want to see a baseball game.
Literal: baseball [of] game [obj] want-to-see

Native: 相撲は何時までですか。
English: Until what time does the sumo run?
Literal: sumo [topic] what-hour until is ?

Native: グッズはどこですか。
